Matching a flat Lund 1648 Jon 2011 against a modified vee Lund WC 12 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 1648 Jon 2011 measures 15,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund WC 12 2011 at 12,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1648 Jon 2011 tips the scales at 365 lbs — 160 lbs more than the Lund WC 12 2011 at 205 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 35 hp for the Lund 1648 Jon 2011 and 15 hp for the Lund WC 12 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1648 Jon 2011 is rated for 4 passengers, while the Lund WC 12 2011 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1648 Jon 2011 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1648 Jon 2011 comes in at 10 lbs per hp versus 14 lbs per hp for the Lund WC 12 2011. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
